Love this place! It’s in The Hangar in Long Beach. Whenever I’m in the area, I’ll grab food in the surrounding food court and a drink from here. They have tons of beer on tap and wine if that’s not our thing. They have a couple of TVs too if you want to watch the game.

Thank you Ryan for being you. Took my sister to get some medical work done. Me and wife walked around the food court and found you. We appreciated every moment we spent at your establishment. Your customer service was awesome and we appreciate you 100% God Bless you Ryan. Ricky and Latecya Franklin-Benjamin

Great rotating beer selection. The bartenders are awesome, especially Malcom, Connor, Tony and Ryan. They do a great job asking what kind of beer you like and pointing out the ones you will like best. They also offer a splash to give it a taste before committing to a beer you never heard of.

Fantastic spot nestled along multiple restaurants and shops. So, plenty to eat and some cool gear to check out (plus, outdoor seating!). The service is fantastic, with knowledgeable brew experts providing suggestions and plenty of knowledge. A great and rotating tap list, great can selection and beers to go. A great spot to check out!

The Cactus Cooler was delicious!! I was sad that they tapped out after my 3rd drink! All in all wonderful place, staff is very knowledgeable of the brews on tap!

Cool spot. Website needs to update their info - I checked and there was no clear info about food so I called and there was no answer and no recording. There is a ton of food options.. Ike sandwiches, poke bowls. Açaí, and so much more. Cool theme, vibe and tons of space.

This place has a mediocre beer selection, tilted towards the heavy dipa side and the seating is terrible. The staff is nice. Although I had a bizarre conversation, I asked for a 4 oz pour and said I might try a few things, and the bartender insisted on showing me how much 4 oz was. According to lines on the cup. She said some people are disappointed. OMG, is the an LA thing ? Children are running around everywhere and it's mayhem. As a result, beer spilled on my shirt as I was stuck standing there waiting for a seat for like 25 minutes. Nobody left the bar! The complete opposite of a peaceful place to have a pint of beer. 100% will not go back here.

PERFECT location to unwind after a busy day, or having been out vacationing. WIDE range of beer on tap, although the wine choices (spouse) could be better. Quite happy servers, and will gladly pour a sample before committing to your purchase. Will definitely be back.

Great tasting beer, knowledgeable servers, great clean atmosphere. This place has the friendliest, welcoming and great customer service that I'd ever seen at a Beer Craft Bar. Malcom is the best. He was our connoisseur and server all night. Ryan is totally awesome. He and Malcom are the perfect team. Jackson was the best bar back. Beyond friendly and such a hard worker. This was our first time here and they made this a pleasurable experience Pricing was great. Seating was available. Parking is ample but fills quickly

Located inside the Hangar in LBX near Long Beach Airport, Bottlecraft is the anchor of the food court. As the watering hole for the people of long beach, it's a popular after-work spot for beers and ciders from local breweries. They have a nice variety of beers and their updated list of pours are always online @ bottlecraft.com. Check it so that you don't have to squint at the massive list of 27 beers, meads, ciders, and kombucha. You have a choice of $3 four-ounce tasters, $5 eight-ounce cups, or $8 sixteen-ounce pours. It's nice to be able to drink local here.

A great place to stop by at LBX! Bottlecraft serves delicious locally made craft beer and seltzers! Their menu changes all the time so don't expect there to be the same drinks with the menus posted. The drinks i got was reccomended by Kevin. Before I get to the drinks, I must say Kevin is a great worker, broke down every single drink for me, asked what I liked, and gave me amazing options. As for the drinks he reccomended, one is a lavander lemonade seltzer and another is something I totally forgot the name of. I believe it was a seltzer that was supposed to be to taste like cactus cooler. Nonetheless, I do remember each drink to be very refreshing and delicious. The bar area is pretty small giving that the brewery is a small kiosk, similar to the size of your average Starbucks that's inside a grocery store. However, it is LBX so there indoor and outdoor seating everywhere. So the perfect LBX experience is to get your food, get your drinks at Bottlecraft, and take is outside and enjoy the beautiful sun.

Honestly a great spot! I went during the Tree Lighting Ceremony and the whole place was packed! Don't be fooled though, although the line was LONG, it went by quickly. I was pleasantly surprised. I also feel that you can't beat the price. Also I want to add that everyone was just nice and in good spirits, overall a good experience for my 1st time at Bottlecraft.

Popular area for a variety of food and Bottlecraft had the drinks to make for a chill time. Got a beer that was recommended by the staff and it tasted pretty similar to Cactus Cooler soda. A few tall tables with seats were available to hangout at to watch the game on the TV. Other seating (indoor and outdoor) is scattered throughout the big dining area for the Hangar Food Hall. Even though it was a busy day they got through the line quickly. Cheers to you guys!

I love their Cactus Cooler beer. It's taste very similar to the Cactus Cooler soda. I like my beer sweet & tangy. I'd love to try their Passion Fruit Mead. Service was friendly & attentive. The ambiance of this place is comfortable & very chill.

The hangar is an awesome vibe! There is a ton of beer to choose from, which is great! Can't go wrong with beer. Only complaint is I stood there with the bartenders talking to each other and not even acknowledging my existence for a while, but alas, I got my beer. All is well and I will still be coming back!

Love this place! The bartenders are super nice, the bar is always clean and I like being able to grab food from a nearby stand and bringing it here to enjoy the food with a nice, cold beer or seltzer.

One of the better beer tap rooms featuring a variety of local independent craft beers and seltzers. They have a pretty extensive offering on tap and also have canned beers as well. They're located inside the LB Hangar amongst the food shops and cafes. You'll get a glass if you're seated at the bar top or a plastic cup for takeaway. The beer servers are very knowledgeable on beer if you need help figuring out what you'd like to drink. They are helpful and friendly if their beer list seems intimidating to you. Just tell them your preferred type of beer and they'll pair you up with a winner. Great beer spot. I'll be back!

Been here a few times && the guys are always nice && helpful with trying to decide on a good beer to get. Menu changes all day every day && not over priced. Beers are always very nice && cold when served. They are always on a constant go. Chill little area to have a beer && you can grab food from any of the restaurants surrounding the bar. They always also have a descent selection on wines as well for those who are not beer drinkers.

Not a huge beer fan or anything like that, but man do I want to come back after trying this. Prices are reasonable as well and what's better than having a drink walking around the hangar? I got the Passion Fruit Mead (16 oz) and it's just as described: Honest Abe Cidery. More cidery than beer for sure because I actually liked it! Don't hesitate to come and try out something new or ask the front for suggestions! My friend and I were able to try a few before settling down on the Passion Fruit Mead. Definitely coming back here as a hangout spot.

Always great beers and variety staff is pretty knowledgeable on beers. Only drawback that sometimes it can get crowded since it's a small bar seating area and it's just a beer tap in an open food court area.

Our favorite local taproom to try out new beers as the menu rotates very often. The bartenders are the best, always friendly & suggesting beers that you might enjoy based on your flavor profile. They have a good selection for anyone that goes, whether it be a sour, IPA or stout there is always a few different ones to choose from.

First timer, and first time getting a "flight" from any pour house. Very excited. Very hospitable staff member helped me with my beer selections. They didn't have a "flight," per se, but you can customize one yourself. Score! I had a 4 oz of each: Tangible Passion (Riip Beer, Witbier,) Playa Nublada (Riip Beer, Hazy IPA, Seventh Sense(Ambitious Ales, English Special Bitter), and Dark Star Imperial Oatmeal Stout Nitro(Fremont Brewery). They were all delicious and had their own unique flavor profile, but I would grab another Playa and Seventh any day. Accompanied my flight with shrimp tacos and tater tots w/mole from Amorcitos. Loving Bottle Craft, Amorcitos, and Long Beach Exchange. Can't wait to visit again

I'm a huge beer fan and although I'm cutting out beer for a while because I've gained weight, I'm glad I stopped by this Bottlecraft location before doing this. Met with a friend who was staying at the hotel by the Hanger and we decided to have some beers here. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it felt like a modern Grand Central Market with a great beer garden in the middle. Our bartender was great. I told him that sours were my favorite and he introduced me to a delicious new beer but I unfortunately forgot what its called. It may have been the Harland Lilikoi but regardless, it was delicious. When I'm off this awful beer-less dietI will go back and discover a new beer at this awesome location and look forward to visiting the original San Diego location.

Arrived on Friday afternoon, January 5, to find location shuttered and closed down. This location has had their liquor license suspended, according to the public posting visible on the bar. Not clear when this location will reopen.

Incredible local selection on tap and in cans. The variety on tap was super impressive, even had a couple of local sours! Anyone will find something the like here! I also liked how they offer three pour volumes- great when you can't decide what you want or want to create your own flight!

The only place in The Hanger where you can get alcohol. Since it's Covid you have to have an order of food on your tab. The only food option they have is hot dog and chips for $2. I had the Limetastic, hard cider. It's a light refreshing drink that paired well with the hot dog. It was nice that the hot dog had flavor.

Love enjoying a nice sour beer here! Tony the beer tender is the absolute best! He provides excellent service and welcoming. He recommends awesome sour beers and makes each experience a pleasant time, friendly and social. Sometimes, I just walk by BottleCraft since it's in the Hangar and he waved and smiling, it's nice to feel acknowledged. The beer selection is great, always looking forward to checking out what's new on the menu or what's the sour selection in cans. Love coming and sitting at the bar top. Cheers!

Delicious beer and pizza... need I say more? According to Yelp's word count the answer is yes. Bottlecraft is stacked with a variety of beers on tap, canned, and wine to-go. This small 'tap house' is located at the back of the Long Beach Exchange, surrounded by a bar, high top tables, and outdoor patio. Bottlecraft serves a large number of craft beers from across the nation. I decided to order the White Rascal from Avery Brewery in Boulder, Colorado. This 5.6% wheat beer is spiffed up with a orange peel and is both incredibly light and tasty! For round two I ordered the Sex Wax, a chocolate raspberry cider from The Southern California Cider and Beer Company in Carson, California. A road trip is now mandatory, this cider was fantastic and I'm desperate to buy it in bulk! Round three coming soon.

Do you like craft beer and being served by folks who know craft beer? Yes? Ok, come here. If not, go to BJ's. This place rocks for craft beer on tap and in cans. The staff knows their s&@$t. They know beer, seltzers and sours. They really do. They will point you in the right direction. It's a small place with limited hours, but worth the effort if you are a craft beer fan. They should stay open longer, forever if possible. Much love Bottlecraft!

I have to say I liked this place for the sole purpose that they offer draft beers from different breweries. I was sad that I could not try more of them because I was driving, but the two I had were delicious. I will not get into the other beers since I have my preferences of what I drink and like and what I may like other may not. Let's just say I am always open to trying different beers and those that seem to be different than others from different breweries. I would recommend this place, especially since you have a wide variety of places to eat, so it is not like you are stuck with either chicken wings, hamburgers or sandwiches, you have tacos, kababs, chicken, etc.

Great place to stop and get a beer! I got the Ogopogo Billy Bumbler, it a delicious pink guava sour. Guava is my favorite fruit so I just had to try, the beer was tart yet smooth. The ambiance is great and there's a bunch of yummy food places around. Great place to check out when your in Long Beach

Great quality beers and always great bartenders (just down to earth/nice people). I like how there's plenty of seating at this complex as well... so you're not wandering around too long looking for a place to sit. Only negatives is that there's usually a line and this place is situated kinda awkwardly so the line is kinda in the middle of where some folks walk... and of course I have to mention that beers are a tiny bit on the pricier side, though that's not a surprise based on where this is. Overall a great spot for a diverse assortment of local beers. Would definitely recommend. Stay Cheerful ;)

Sunday 3pm 10/1. Walked up to get a second round of beers, was rudely ignored while the bartenders talked about another brewery (Three weavers). After hearing them argue about where the brewery was they looked right past me and helped the person behind me. I don't even know what to say about it.. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was racial.. but damn, it sure felt like it. I won't be coming back.

It's a little more like Draftcraft here than in its San Diego incarnations, but this is well-worth the visit for craft beer lovers. Bottlecraft is one of Long Beach's newer beer bars, but it originally started farther south in California as a series of shops selling beer to take home with some draft beer options to enjoy in-store. That business model changed with their newest venture, where bottles are in a cooler and must be enjoyed on-site, but upwards of 25 beer taps are available with selections from near (such as Long Beach itself and plenty of other SoCal offerings) and far (New Jersey really does have good beer). Bottlecraft is located inside The Hangar at Long Beach Exchange. Approaching as directed via a popular GPS navigation app, my friend and I ended up parking near the east-facing entrance (free parking as far as I could see) where I immediately espied this bar just inside said entrance. I immediately took a seat at the counter and started to try to figure out my order. (Turns out that it's not easy to decide in a pinch when you're willing to try just about anything.) Although Bottlecraft doesn't formally present flights, they have options for 4 oz pours on all draft beers. I am as inquisitive and curious in my beer palate as in my food palate, so I wanted to try as many options as possible and kept going with 4 oz pours all night. The higher-end beers went up to $4 or $5, while the others mostly cost $2 or $2.50. (Full-pint pours were $6.50 to $9.0, while some options capped out at 8 oz and went for somewhere in the $6 to $9 range here. I don't really want to go into detail on the flavors and mouthfeels of what I specifically enjoyed and why I loved them because I've monitored their social media and noted how quickly they rotate out their kegs. Just know that the seven tasters which I ordered were all delicious, served at cold temperatures, and free of the various defects/impurities which you can sometimes find in poorly created and improperly stored beers. This does reflect on each individual brewery, but it also shows that Bottlecraft has been able to curate and maintain a strong selection of beverages. I was happy with the service. The bartender on duty was attentive and answered all of my questions, including when I wondered about bringing food from other Hangar restaurants to the actual bar counter (totally fine) or removing beverages from the bar area to take advantage of the tables (totally fine, but definitely in the plastic cups rather than the glasses). Bottlecraft's Long Beach location takes a somewhat different path from its predecessors, but it's a trailblazer in my book. It's one of the strongest beer bars in the region and happens to share a space with a variety of food vendors, so if you enjoying trying new brewskis, make your way out here posthaste.

(Drank 07/09/19 TU @ 7:00pm): Leave the bottle... I'll take my craft beer from the tap! In the area with a friend for "Yelp's Passport Party Taste Of LBX" event that promoted the relatively new Long Beach Exchange shopping complex with an emphasis on its food hall, The Hangar, we happily came across Bottlecraft and its myriad selection of local craft beers in the hopes that we found something we each liked to help wash down all the complimentary sampling we were doing. I loved beer and couldn't pass up the opportunity; granted, they were self-proclaimed a "beer shop and tasting room" and definitely not a brewery. However, they had several beers I'd never heard/tried before, and they also sold cider, kombucha, and wine by the glass. Was there enough in the area for a return visit!? PURCHASE Green Cheek Beer Co. The Fruit Not The City Belgian Style Witbier w/Orange Zest 4.5% ABV 16 fl. oz. ($6.50): Cloudy yellow color, citrus orange slight barley aroma, low body, citrus orange taste, easy finish, and slight orange aftertaste - not a bad way to get your Vitamin-C! Ten Mile Brewing Co. Maggie Mae Blonde Ale 4.8% ABV 16 fl. oz. (COMPED but normally $7.00): They tapped out of this so what came out was FREE! Bright honey color, light hoppy malt aroma, low body, malt taste, clean refreshing finish, and minimal malt aftertaste - Maggie was one tasty mama! Chapman Crafted Beer Slow Riser w/Coffee Nitro Irish Red Ale 5.75 ABV 16 fl. oz. ($7.00): Dark caramel red color, chocolate coffee aroma, medium body, caramel coffee toffee taste, lingering coffee finish, and sweet syrupy aftertaste - more of a stout which I loved but wouldn't drink it every day! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=HSut_PRLcznRwXS5yflBJg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE Armed with two friendly young men behind the bar, they graciously greeted and masterfully served the throngs of thirsty patrons and kept the lines moving. Heck... we got a free beer from them because they tapped out! These gents had it going on - phenomenal job! PARKING (FREE) Located in a relatively new outdoor shopping center, there was ample free parking everywhere - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located inside The Hangar within the Long Beach Exchange Shopping Center, they occupied one end of the food hall simply with a long C-shaped bar that fit between 20-25 standing patrons as they faced a chrome-plated metallic industrial wall that housed nearly 30 taps with an easily-legible beer menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Hgd5q1yQQGCHi05k-ohMqA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. There were numerous tables and chairs throughout the food hall if you wanted to sit and enjoy your beverage. A ton of natural lighting came in through the surrounding glass windows and doors at both ends while several industrial electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were a couple muted TVs while music played throughout the entire Hangar in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was impressed by the range of craft beers - local and domestic - on tap at Bottlecraft of which many I've never tried before which would bring me back for more if I was in the area. I liked that they served by the taster, glass, and pint (no growlers) and also had a decent selection of bottled libations outside of beers. They hit the mark on their service. However, I wasn't sure if they had a Happy Hour (but should if they didn't). I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $14.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.5 STARS

Five stars for basically a pop-up beer bar? Yeah, dude. Located inside the Long Beach Exchange at the West entrance is Bottlecraft. A suds soaked bookend to a bustling and massive food hall. Bottlecraft is basically a U-shaped bar with a rotating draft and bottle list. During my visit, I sipped a "Soft Around the Edges" from Green Creek brewing in Orange, a bartender suggestion. It was crisp, mellow, and refreshing. The perfect beer for a midday work week break. Beyond the draft beers they also offer canned beers and bottles to choose from. The service here was above and beyond. Not only did the owner/bartender, Ryan?, allow me to work on my laptop at the bar, but he also gave me some great food suggestions. By the way, any of the food you buy at the LBX ca be eaten here! Outlets at every seat, over 25+ beers, and amazing service. Bottlecraft, did we just become best friends?

This is a great beer drinking location. I don't want to call it a bar, because it's just one stand in the food hall called the Hanger. The problem with many beer drinking locations is when you drink a beer, you probably want something to eat and often times what you can eat at that beer drinking location is not that great or your selection limited. Here you are able to try all the different eating options (Ban Mi, Tacos, korean food, etc) and have great local beer. They have a wide range of local beer from smaller brewers like Brewery X Anaheim, Radiant Beer Co, and Burning Daylight Brewing company in Lomita and a rotating selection. At the time of this review they have 25 different beers on draft, representing many different styles (Westcoast IPA, German Pilsner, and Nitro Stout, etc.). The bartenders are well versed in their selection and can help you find the style and flavor that you will enjoy or you can just play roulette and pick the beer with the best looking tap. I like that the selection is not dominated by IPAs because beer heads love IPAs, but sometimes you want something milder. Beer is sold at 4, 8, and 16 oz, with some 4 oz pours as cheap as $2, so you can really try different styles so you don't have to commit to something if you aren't sure about it.

A very small craft beer bar at The Hangar LBX, they have limited wines too but mostly craft beers. We came in on a late afternoon cause I was craving craft beers like crazy for some reason. Again I'v always been a beer lover nonetheless! It was really packed on a Saturday late afternoon, we were lucky to grab two seats at the bar. The lines for this beer bar were so long the entire time we were there! It seemed this was the first stop for everybody when they entered The Hangar. The beer selections were great and extensive. I usually do flights cause I like to try different ones. So I chose some strong IPAs, one stout and a sour. Hubby chose all strong dark ones. I seriously loved all the beers we tried especially IPAs! Hubby liked the dark coffee one so much. Our bartender was very friendly and attentive, also very knowledgeable about their beers. I really loved this beer bar experience, I can see myself come here from time to time. The food hall offers a lot of food to go with craft beers which makes this spot even more fun!

This is a craft beer tasting room/bar located inside The Hangar. It also has wine, cider, and kombucha in its selection. Menu lists names of companies and their locations with a brief description of each item. It seems like most of the items are from local breweries within 30 miles of here. The good thing about this place is different size options. You can get 4 oz., 8 oz., or 16 oz. Everything is on tap so service is fairly quick, as long as there isn't a long line of indecisive people ahead of you. At the time of my visit, price was somewhere between $2 to $9 depending on the type of beer and size. Price for 4 oz. pour was about $2-$2.50 for most items. Menu and selection will most likely change so the ones I tried during my visit may not be available in the future. I tried Mocha Machine and Gingergrass Cider. They were quite opposite in terms of flavor and taste, which is why I opted for these two. Mocha Machine is an imperial porter made by Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach. I really liked the richness of this beer. It's brewed with coffee from Portola (which is also located in The Hangar) and cacao nibs from Ecuador. Gingergrass Cider was light, crisp, and refreshing. It's made with apples, and a little bit of ginger and lemongrass. I really didn't taste the lemongrass part but did taste little bit of the ginger. I do like this place but it's hard for me to give anything more than 3 stars for a place that's merely serving products made by others. It doesn't have any house specialty drinks, food, or snack items. Since there are other great eateries within The Hangar, it probably wouldn't be wise to serve food anyway, but I was hoping this place would at least have house-made cocktails or its own brand of craft beer. Places like The Wall in Orange has over 50 craft beers on its tap, and also serves food.

Tucked in the back of the hangar is beer! Beer and more beer! I love the many choices this place has to offer. I am more of a stout/dark beer drinker but I do enjoy their occasional light beers. I love their chai flavored beer that I had one time and their coffee stouts. My favorite part of course is the fact that I can try them before I buy! Who doesn't want to try beer for free before they buy beer? The bartenders are also very knowledgeable and can help you make the right decision! The line gets pretty long on some days but they move pretty fast so I wouldn't be so worried. They also serve wine!

Loved this cool little bar and it seemed everyone else does too. When we got here there wasn't a line so we got to order pretty quickly. A few minutes after the line was long but the two workers were great and actually served everyone quickly which made it that much better. I ordered the Lilikoi beer and loved it. I'm a fan of sweeter beers and really don't like the hoppiness of IPA's so I really enjoyed the taste. I can also taste a little of Passion Fruit which was also in the description of the beer. I want to go back to try a few more beers and possibly may try out an IPA since one did say it had fruit accents. The bar is right at the front and has some seating along the bar and tables next to it but seats go fast so I ensure getting there early.

Always a beer to be had on their wall of beers! Feeling like an IPA and a lager, sure get your self an 8oz of each! Want a stout, saison, sour and Belgium? Get 4, 4oz pours! Feeling like a seltzer? They have that too! Always the first stop for us at the LBX Hangar and the last. The variety of breweries too is fabulous! So head over grab some beers and sit outside and enjoy the LBX.

With almost 30 options on draft, Bottlecraft is one of my absolute favorite places to grab a beer with friends. Pull up a barstool or walk around The Hangar food hall with a beer to go. The atmosphere is laid back and casual and the pours never disappoint. I love that the selection of beer, cider, and hard kombucha seems to rotate every few weeks so there is always a new option to try! The price is a little steep but worth it with the cost of two drinks around $20 plus tip. The only thing keeping this place from a 5 star rating is the service. Sometimes customers will be waiting in line excessively while the bartender is preoccupied or looking the other way. Sense of urgency and a smile go a long way in the service industry. With all being said, this is a great spot and very conveniently located.

Always a good time. Great service and the craft beer choices are awesome. If you haven't been here, you are missing out.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Decent selection of beers, but kind of pricey. Stopped by with a friend for an evening drink before hitting the food court. I got a 16 oz pour of Riip Brewing's hazy IPA, which was great but $8. No happy hour deals that I could see. Fine for an occasional visit when in the area.

You can always count on Bottlecraft for a tasty and wide selection of beers on tap. They've got something for everyone-IPAs, stouts, sours, and lagers. It's conveniently located at LBX, a step up from your mall food court, with some taste worthy eateries to choose from. The bartenders are always friendly and prompt to serve you. There's little to no wait time. You can enjoy a nice cold beer with your meal either indoors or outdoors. It's a regular spot for us.
